Any managers who have Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins and Jordan Love on their squad know one thing for certain: they don't need any more quarterbacks. However, even managers in possession of two of these names are in good shape. That said, the downside is that every week presents a difficult choice between them. Here's a look at all three players and a recommendation.
Is Jared Goff a good pick in Week 7?
Jared Goff is coming off the blowout of the year against the Dallas Cowboys. Whether he can follow it up with another win is a big deal in the NFC North picture, but it is beside the point in fantasy football.

According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer, Goff is due for a useful day if not a dominant one. He is projected to earn about 15.2 points. It will be a tight game against the Vikings, so he will have to play situationally and avoid completely throwing it all over the park. Goff is a solid pick this week, but there is room for improvement.
Is Kirk Cousins a good pick in Week 7?
Kirk Cousins has been a fantasy monster this season. However, in a week-to-week league, a plug-and-forget option could cost managers if they don't pay close attention to every player.
Cousins is projected to have a solid outing this week, according to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer. He is expected to earn 16.3 points against the Seattle Seahawks in Atlanta.
Is Jordan Love a good pick in Week 7?
Jordan Love hasn't had the healthiest season in 2024, but he has been consistently productive through the air. This week, he faces the Houston Texans, which just allowed a decently productive day for rookie Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.
That said, Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer expects Love to put Maye's production to shame. The Optimizer projected the Packers quarterback to earn 19.6 points in the contest. It goes without saying, pick the quarterback.
Whom should I start between Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins and Jordan Love in Week 7?
Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins and Jordan Love are all solid starting options. However, with most leagues allowing only one quarterback at a time, managers have reason to sweat about the decision. Between the three, there isn't a disastrous option, but there is a wrong option.
This week, that option appears to be Jared Goff, per Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer. Goff is due just 15.2 points compared to Jordan Love's 19.6 points. Kirk Cousins sits in the middle with 16.3 points. The gulf between Goff and Love is 4.2 points, which is a mediocre player's worth on its own. Put simply, start Love and count your points as they arrive in bunches.
